The Big Move

The Station House Media Unit building in Woodside is to undergo a million pound make-over following a successful application to the Scottish Government Regeneration Capital Fund. Work begins in late August on the new purpose-built accommodation, which will significantly extend our existing building.

 

The new building will include new radio studios, a recording studio, TV studio, an IT suite, improved training facilities, an edit suite and some fantastic new social space. The building will also be the main office base for the organisation. During the estimated 12 month building period, staff and services will be based at Aberdeen City Council’s Rosehill Day Centre on Ashgrove Road West.

 

The relocation is due to take place during the week commencing 21st August with CHAP Construction starting the building work on the 28th August. Although this is a time of upheaval, it is also a time of opportunity, with

Rosehill Day Centre offering more space to develop our services and try out new work before returning to our new building. Staff will ensure that volunteers and service users are supported to continue their programmes in our temporary

location, and look forward to sharing news of new and expanded projects and services in due course.

 

shmu also continues to work on a fundraising plan to ensure the new building will meet all of our needs, and also for Phase 2 of the build, which will transform the existing building into a small community venue.
